This comprehensive book delves into the intricate relationship between broader social theory and social welfare, shedding light on how power and resistance shape the operations of helping professions in health and social contexts in the twenty-first century. It offers a critical examination of major Foucauldian theories and social issues that underpin the construction and practice of health and social welfare.
